type upon that portion of the paper duch i limits on the paper,'a guard-plate pass through.A

the frame, and the gicle block, and thus the desired number is pijl To prevent the spreading of ink' beyort the t Saiyeplates fastened to y through it is above the. block G, as is indicated in g. 1. For paging books, the block G is turned, so as to have its arm f project to the front, as shown in iig. 2.

Thereby a recess is formed under the arxnfor the leaves z of the book to tit in', asindicated in iig. 2.

The table B is adjusted up or down, according to the thickness of the book, and the leaf tobe paged is placed l with its corner upon the block Gr, as shown.

The guard-plate H cannot beconveniently used vfor paging books.

0n 'the sameaxle with the printingdisks is mounted. a ratchet or toothed disk, h, which has ten teeth, and

which, as it is turned by suitable mechanism, serves to turn the printing-disks in thevrequired succession.-- In our machine, as the hifurcated end ofthe lever C being swung up by the action of the spring b, the

upper tooth of the wheel h striles against theend of ,A a. lever, i, which arrestsit, and thus, as the disks con tinue to move upward with the lever C, the wheel h is turned, and the type set during the upward motion of the disks.l v

The lever iris with its rear end pivoted t9 the upper part of a bar, j, which is pivoted to an upright-projects ing arm, lf, of the frame A, and which is at its lower -end pivoted to the rear eud of a bar, l.

The front end of the bar l is, by means of a pinor screw, m-, pivoted to the axle of the disks AD, D', and 1c, as is clearly shown in figs. l, 2, and 3. l

` The bar i lits through a slotted plate,.n, which forms part ofthe upright k, and in which a. removable pin or screw, o, is-arranged. 5' 'l When the lever yi rests upon the pin fr, as in figs. l and 2, its end will be elevated, so that it will meet the uppermost tooth of the wheel h, and the typo will thus -be Vset one figure ahead during each motion .of the l treadle.

The manner in which the levert', acts upon the ratcheowheel h, is clearly illustrated by red and black lines in iig. 3.'

. When the screw o is removed or drawn out of. the v way ofthe lever i, the same will drop in` the slot of the platen, as in iig. 2, and its end will then come in contact with-the tooth which is in rear of the uppermost tooth of the wheel 71, and will thus move the wheel two teeth ahead, whioh'c'auses two type-gures to be ad.

i will set the disk-s one tooth, thepleyer then opeiating until it'has brought vits tootlivertically above the axis ofthe disks.' .j Y AWhen the .lever i `does not. at all'opezate automati-- cally, as aforesaid, the" device will always plint the same figures, and if 4they 'arefto be Schanged,' they can be set by taking Yholdf' the upper end of the barj; 'and swinging 'thatfo'r'wa-rd vand Inach,ward until the .re-

I represents the inking-,rol'ler inthe bifureatedfrontlariuof anelbowlever, J', which is, by a pin, g,pivoted to the lever G, as sh0wn,'aud which has a slotted'rear aru i'as'shown in lgs. l and 2.

K is a. straight.lever,pivoted,near,its middle, to a 'llllie same is hungA 86ans 2 stationary part of the'iiame' A, and having at its frontend a'pin, that ,fits through theslot ofthe lever J.

The rear end of the bar K isA slotted, und connected Vin a similar manner with a lever, L,as shown. The rear end-ot` the lever L is, bynrod, M, connected with the treadle F. Thus, when the treaille is not used, 'the loyers KL aie in line, or nearly Stg-as in fig. l', and the rollerl is .held up against the type; but when thetrczulleisfdepressed, the. leversl assume the ,posit ion shown in 2, aud'cause theljoller l to swing down upon .au inking-plate, N. Thus, when the type-disks arcmoviug down to print, tlfe hiking-roller movesdown 1to taire up fresh ink, and as soon as they have been raisedagain, and have consequent-ly been set by the lever i, the inkingroller-is swung up, and inks that. type, or

row .of types, which is lto print next.

Into .the teeth of the ratchet-wheelengages a hook, t, which is formed on a bar that is, at its other,rear end, pvoted to the frameA, by a pin, u, the pin it being below the shaft a, as is clearly shown `in fig. 6.

against its teeth, a spring 'pawl,'V, which projects from the plate is raised again by the action ofthe spring b, the tooth, caught by the hook, .will be retained by the same, and the'xaixihe't-wheel'anil the plate N will consequently he turuevdg,A

.By means of a. spring,w,.the hook is held constantlyagainst the -under side of the plate N.

Thus, by means of the said oscillating motion, inter# mittent rotaryrnotiou is also imparted to the plate N, so that constantly .fresh ink will be brought under the inking-rol1.

l The plate-Nds held by a spring, so that it may yield to the downward pressure of the inking-roll, to allow the samej'to. take up a full supply. of ink. f

rlfhe toothed wheel 7L is, bymeans of screws or otherwise, secured to the face 'ot'. the first disk, D.

All the disks-D D', 85o., as wellas the wheel h,are hung on an axle, O, as is all clearlyf'shown on Sheet `I II, and a spring-catch, a', is fitted to the uuit-disk D,

and one, Z13-to the tendisk D,as usual.

For each disk there is,'asusual, a spring-catch, c', projecting from .the axle'into notches cut into the inneredge .of the disks, as shown in. tigs. l0, 1l, and 12. The catch a' projects through the wheel h, and by a cam, cl', on theiace ofthe latter, the catch a" is. forced in once during every revolution.v

The springs for holding the'catches a?, b', 85e., are

In iig. 7 the printing-roller is shown, as it can be lused when 'constructed as usuah The types of the .various disks .areall in line, and if the 0, or anyone of: the units, were to be printed, the naughts in the second, third, Src., disk, would also bepriuted, and their types had, therefore, to be removed, to allow the' printngof the units, and to bereinserted wheu'tens vor lhundreds were tovfbeprinted. ,gf

To avoid all the inconvenience-connected with the removal and reinsertion of the tunes.' we' have amm-@s The hiking-plate N is a circular dat: plate, with a ratchet wheel, r,`secured to its under side,'and is hung of the lever 0,' as

an additional notch, e', in the inner edge of each disk, D', D", Cto., :is in figs. l1 and 12, to allow their being locked, by the catches c', inv such position that their types are out of line with those ot" the types on the unitfdisk, ns is clearly shown in iig. l. 'lhns the unit? disk can be turned, and its printing-type will always be out of line with the types on the other disks as long as unit-s are to be printed; but nssoon as the 9 has been printed, the catch aff will be. depressed by the earn d', and. will lit,A into n slot, j, that is provided in or through the disk D', and as the disk D is then turned,

it will turnloose on D', until their types. are in line.,

and then the catch a' will have arrived at the end of' the slot f', and the rest of the-inotion of D. will be shared by D', until the figure lfof the disk D' is with the naught ot' D, in the printing position. The tens and units will now remain in line, as in tig. 9, buyout of line with the hundreds on D, until the figure 99 has been printed. '.Lhen the eil-teh a.' is again depressed, and depresses the catch b', which ts into a long slot, q', that is provided inthe disk D, as in fig. 12.

The latter halt' of the next more of the disks D D will then carry along the disk DQnvhle .the first halt' ot that move served to bring the types of thethree.

disks in line. .lf more than three disks are used, they vn'll, on the same principle., be brought into operation when their turn has come.

We are aware that all the parts in this arrangement of disks are old, except the notches el, to hold the types our ot' line, and the slots f' y', in a second, third, &c., disk, to bring them into line again when necessary.
